This reveal explains a few things - what the dark presence behind Sasuke at the Five Kage Summit was, and Sasuke's fluctuating power level (something I'm surprised was touched on this directly), as well as giving an origin for Naruto's absurd amount of natural chakra. It also, as I've said was going to happen ever since he did it, absolved Sasuke of the moral obligation of having murdered a bunch of people at the summit - he did it because of his Uchiha mental disorder and an evil ghost.
